Is there a way to break a stall
perfectlyimperfect44 replied to perfectlyimperfect44's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
for me also - when I had a stall I tracked my food on the same program where I track my workouts and saw that I needed to add a snack - calories were a good bit too low. I find my calorie deficit for the day needs to be right around 800 or else I stop loosing. -
Is there a way to break a stall
perfectlyimperfect44 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am about 4 1/2 months out and I see so many people talking about stalls but has any successfully broke a stall and what did you do. Yep getting Protein in about 50 grams and yep getting Water in about 50-64 oz of water on good days. Gym is a slight problem working with a healing broken ankle so I am using the bicycle and working with a trainer on strength training. Could my lack of exercise be my issue? -

@KristinLe Thank you and it's hard not to be hard on myself when I realize I have so far to go. How many calories are you getting in? what is expected at 5 months? My nut is just not giving me a straight answer. -
Is there a way to break a stall
perfectlyimperfect44 replied to perfectlyimperfect44's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am getting in about 600-800 calories Protein is using about 50-60 a day trying to find the right regime to get all my protein in has been the hardest task for me I'll do a Protein Drink for Breakfast and depending on what that is could be 20 or 30 grams of protein and try to get a high protein lunch and dinner so I averaging about 50-60 but then trying to get 64oz of Water in too, whew is like stomach over load I'm stirring clear of carbs at most I think I do about 27-40 grams of carbs a day. I really try to eat right trust me some days are harder than others but I have a goal to reach and that's my motivation. -
Is anyone else experiencing mood swings? I am a total @$$ some days.
perfectlyimperfect44 replied to KLSUMM's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Spicy food sensitivity
perfectlyimperfect44 replied to theladyslipper's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm the same way sleeved only 4 months and love spicy food but OMG it does not like me any more I was hoping this is temporary, so I'm still waiting and try to steer clear of anything spicy -
Not drinking and eating
perfectlyimperfect44 replied to Tssiemer1's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You'll be surprised how much easier it is to not drink while you eat. one your stomach will not let you put too much in too fast anyway and eating and drinking will be so painful you'll avoid it to avoid the pain. I thought the same thing before I had my surgery but it is much easier than you think the only issue I have not is that after eating im so thirsty that I am clocking watching so I can drink :-) -
my surgery was 12/15 and I agree once I got past the first two days it has not been that bad Thank God im just dealing with a lot of gas, I have been walking and walking and walking so now walking and GasX strips are my best friend lol the gas pains are brutal but I am so glad that it's over and now comes the work to being Successful. Congrats on your new life and Merry Christmas

After all the prerequisites that were required, and submit to insurance to get denied, to having to complete 6 month NUT/PCP weightloss management, to a PEER to PEER and finally finally finally approved. Surgery Date is December 15th I finally have a date and it just got real for me. I'm super excited but I am also nervous, nervous about the surgery itself and nervous because I don't want to fail I have battled the yo-yo weight thing for so flipping long I want to be healthy I want to be able to climb stairs without feeling like my heart is about to pop out of my chest, I want to be free of being obese and so unhealthy. Any other December sleevers out there that feel like this? Mentors? FB??
